It’s natural for a child to behave in such a manner as it’s very new for them to start accepting the importance that the parents would start giving to the 2nd child

Hi,There are multiple reasons for this behaviour.She can be stressed due to the arrival of her sibling.Any major changes in life can bring behavioural changes.Medical conditions, abuse etc are some other reasons.Talk to her teachers to rule out any other reasons like academic problems, bullying etc . Consult a clinical psychologist and a pediatrician.

It seems to be psychological changes due to sibling rivalry. It's normal to have psychological changes during this period but should not give rise to behavioral changes for longer time. It needs to be treated asap otherwise it may get complicated. It can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine if required. You need an expert psychologist who is a good homeopathic physician. Homeopathic medicine would be the best solution for your kid.

Hi... I understand your concern. If you have been observing a behaviour change in your first child ,it is better to let her talk to a child psychologist to understand what the root cause is.

Hi dear, Spend time with her, do activities with her, and go to parks. She is feeling insecure, which is quite normal in this age. If the problem still persists, then you should talk to a psychologist. Connect online for proper guidance.

I understand it must be tough for you handling such a situation being a mother of 2 kids. Your daughter is at an age where feeling insecured is natural, as all the attention she used to get is divided now. Try talking to her in person and express your love towards her. Spend few hours of the day with her doing her favourite activities, you may do this when the younger one is sleeping so that the older one has your undivided attention. Also, try involving her when you are doing chores of the younger one so that she feels inclusive and responsible. Don’t worry! Take care

Hi

Hello, As a mother, it is understandable that you are stressed. At one end you are juggling with the new baby demands and on the other figuring out ways to handle behavioural changes displayed by your elder one. Children seek attention. Sometimes they do not bother about the means to get this attention. For 7.5 yrs of her life, her school, her choices, everything about her was the centre of your world. Suddenly, she herself is unable to deal with the permanent life altering change of a younger sibling. Also, the age difference also must be making it difficult for her to immediately connect. Children are very adaptable and as you mentioned , she has always been a happy go lucky child. I feel that communication with her shall help on the below lines: 1. Reassurance that she is still and always shall be important. 2. Finding ways to make her feel important. 3. Fun ways to play and connect her to her sibling, so she understands the advantages of a younger sister in her life. 4. Undersding her anger and managing it rather than reacting with anger. Kindly restore her connection with you by giving her time as much as possible, communicate with her regularly about her day at school etc . Basically ensure she is in no threatened or disconnected due to the new development. I am sure she will come back to her happy go lucky self. You can connect for further professional guidance. Happy Healthy Living!
